An ageing workforce creates a demand for research to
support evidenced-based practices and policies which promote the productivity,
work ability and quality of life of older workers, especially in occupations
with a high physical demand. This document reviews the existing research and
policy documents relating to the ageing workforce and assesses whether
sufficient evidence-based advice exists for an ageing workforce in jobs with a
high physical job demand.

This review examines the general area of the ageing
workforce from the perspective of:

the physiological and cognitive aspects of
ageing;

the consequences of ageing, and

the promotion of active ageing within the
workforce.

For each of these sections the relevant literature is
reviewed and summarised.

This publication will be useful to all those involved in
assessing the capabilities of workers, including physicians and HR personnel.
